Today is of course the Oscars, and most everyone's eyes are turned towards, if you want to be crass, The Gay Super Bowl. While your woman or life partner chats on and on with their insufferable friends about dress choices and how I Can't Believe George Clooney Is With That Whorelady I Know Why Doesn't He Settle Down, you might as well switch on the iPod and hook yourself up to this special Movie Edition playlist. Then sit back, enjoy the tunes, and mourn the Academy's dreadful oversight of "Who's Your Caddy"".

Some good choices here to be sure. I would have also included Gary Numan's "Films," among some others I can't think of right now.
I think that if Johnny Greenwood isn't considered for his work on "There Will Be Blood," then they might as well give the Oscar to the lack of music in "No Country For Old Men."
List is missing No Shelter.
"The Main Attraction: Distraction"
Keep your eyes on the REAL killer.
